CHALLENGE 2020

Weymouth, Abbotsbury and Dorchester are rich in history, character and charm. The undulating course is almost exclusively off-road and, whilst being challenging and rewarding, allows competitors to also enjoy the fantastic local scenery.

Heading out along The Fleet, the course follows coastal national trails and bridal paths to Abbotsbury, passing the Swannery, Monastery and St Catharine’s chapel.

See Challenge For Details.

NEW FOR 2019 MINI CHALLENGE

Mini Challenge is a new event for walkers and runners.

Our Challenge event is constantly changing so much so that this year is going to be the first mini challenge. (Our main Challenge event will still take place, but not until 2020) This shorter distance still incorporates a part of the famous Fleet part of the Jurassic coast.

See Mini Challenge For Details.

About Us

We registered as a charity in December 2008, after the success of Challenge and Black and White ball, raising funds for Friends of the M.V.Freedom. It was then decided that we would extend our support to more small charities and not for profit organisations with the name changing to Hangers Heroes in 2010.

Our beneficiaries receive their cheques at a presentation evening usually in February, it gives us all a chance to catch up and is always a most enjoyable evening.

MINI CHALLENGE

SATURDAY 14TH SEPTEMBER BAGWELL FARM TOURING PARK.

Please go to Mini Challenge tab above for more information.

Book a sky dive and raise monies for our charity.

A tandem is an easy and enjoyable way to experience the thrills
of skydiving without having to learn how. The exhilarating free fall
combined with the peace and tranquility of the parachute ride, makes
tandem skydiving a unique and eye-opening way to raise
money and help us support local charities.

We are now accepting online entries for our Half marathon or 10k Mini Challenge. Just go to our mini challenge tab to find out more and to enter. This is a great event for all abilities and ages. Dogs are welcome to bring their owners.
